This line always confused me because when was Drake ever conscious? Even when u go back to Comeback season era it’s more introspective tracks than some higher learning conscious shyt

Listen to Kendrick’s music. He may be pro black but he’s hardly a conscious rapper.

A conscious record is like Umi Says by Mos Def, doesn’t have to be some crazy lyrical track but I don’t remember Drake ever having songs about social issues. He’d sprinkle in lines occasionally back then but not really

I wouldn’t label him one either, but I’m just going off Drake line lol since he basically callling him that. Drake don’t got no Keisha’s Song

Kendrick makes music with substance and he is intelligent and thoughtful.
Drake lacks all of these traits.

I don’t know if these are considered conscious but he’s made a lot of these songs. How was he making this so young and now he’s making all that trash for the younger crowd? He’s declined in subject matter.
I can't recall a single drake song where he spoke on a single social issue or raised awareness on anything
He just speaks on his personal life

Classic track but listened to it the other day and was distracted by how whiny Drake's verse was
Game verses talking about I got your back Drizzy, welcome to my hood and city, life is rough out here but we wouldn't have it any other way and Drake's verse all about how nobody like him

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
The only time I remember Drake even attempting social commentary is on "Charged Up" when he talked about police brutality for a bar. And that was only to deflect from the ghostwriting allegations.
From the time "Best I Ever Had" dropped, Drake's main concern was to be a big star. Nothing conscious or thought-provoking about his music.

He’s probably referring to his Little Brother phase but I wouldn’t call that conscious moreso backpacky
